Hepatitis A virus in the EU/EEA, 1975–2014: A systematic review of seroprevalence and incidence comprising European surveillance data and national vaccination recommendations

This ECDC report provides a comprehensive picture of Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection epidemiology in the EU/EEA between 1975 and 2014. The report outlines important knowledge gaps about e.g. laboratory-based surveillance, data available on coverage of HAV vaccination, and data from HAV molecular surveillance, which should be addressed when designing specific prevention and control measures to further decrease HAV circulation in the EU/EEA. – See more at: http://ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications/_layouts/forms/Publication_DispForm.aspx?List=4f55ad51-4aed-4d32-b960-af70113dbb90&ID=1542#sthash.Sdm0k4li.dpuf
